Question 1

Is XIME Bangalore a university, and does it grant an MBA degree?

Accepted Answer

No. XIME Bangalore is an autonomous, standalone private business school (not a university). It offers a Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and PGDM-Business Analytics (PGDM-BA), which are AICTE-approved and have been granted MBA equivalence by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), rather than being conferred as a university MBA degree.

What programmes does XIME Bangalore offer?

Accepted Answer

A two-year, full-time, residential PGDM (240 seats) with specializations in Marketing, Finance, HR, Operations & IT, and Analytics; a PGDM in Business Analytics (PGDM-BA, 60 seats); and a Ph.D. in Management (full-time and part-time/executive), administered under University of Mysore regulations. XIME's wider Bangalore/Kochi/Chennai group also runs external programmes such as MDPs, FDPs and Open Batch Programmes.

Question 3

What entrance exams does XIME Bangalore accept for PGDM/PGDM-BA?
